Work backwards.

Start with z = 4.

Now deal with the middle equation

y + 3z = 11                    Substitute z = 4 and solve for y

y + 3(4) = 11                  Subtract 12 from both sides

y + 12 = 11

y + 12 - 12 = 11 -12         Combine terms on the left and right

y = - 1                             Now use the top equation for x

z = 4                              z still = 4

2x + 4(-1) +3(4) = 14

2x - 4 + 12 = 14              Solve 3z

2x + 8 = 14                     Subtract 8

2x + 8 - 8 = 14 - 8          Combine

2x = 6                            Divide by 2

x = 6/2

x = 3

Answer

x = 3

y = - 1

z = 4

5.A. Jonah filled a box and said its volume was 25 balls. Shandra filled the same box and said its volumen was 36 cubes. Explain
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

  the balls are larger, or don't pack as tightly

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume by either measure will depend on a couple of factors:

  • the volume of the unit used (ball or cube)
  • the way the units can be packed

In a rectangular space, such as a box, it may be easier to pack cubes than balls. So, more cubes of the same volume would fit simply because they can be packed closer together.

We aren't told the volume of either the cube or the ball, and we're not told the extent to which the packing is optimized.

Fewer balls may fit because their packing is not as well optimized as that of the cubes, or because each has a larger volume than the cube being used.

A dog is standing 12 feet from a tree looking at a bird in the tree. the angle of elevation from the dog to the bird is 50°. how
jasenka [17]
The distance of the bird from the ground will be given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=50°
opposite=h
adjacent=12 ft
plugging in the values in the formula we get:
tan 50=h/12
thus
h=12tan50
h=14.301 ft
=14.3 ft
